The Ecogate dust collection system provides a solution to high electricity bills in woodworking, welding and manufacturing facilities. Along with cost savings, it helps you enhance working conditions by reducing noise and minimising environmental impact.
The system provides extraction on-demand through sensors and gates installed at each workstation, which communicate with a Ecogate control unit. When a workstation is active, its corresponding sensor reports to the unit. The greenBOX then opens the automatic blast gates for stations in use and closes them to inactive ones, optimising air volume. The reduced air volume requirements allow the Powermaster Variable Frequency Driver to slow down the system fan, decreasing power consumption.
The system is versatile, accommodating your existing dust collectors and fans where applicable. For outdated or insufficient fans and collectors, we can design a new system with recommendations tailored to your needs. Either way, Ecogate's agnostic approach ensures seamless integration, offering a comprehensive solution while allowing for future scalability.
Dust extraction systems operate by providing constant suction to every workstation, whether the machines are in use or not. The Ecogate system is calibrated to turn on and off according to the need of extraction. This results in less energy usage and direct savings on your electricity bill.
Ecogate automates your entire dust collection or fume extraction process, starting the system at the beginning of each workday and turning it off at the end of the shift. It also collects insightful data of your machines to help you understand the real-time utilisation and make informed decisions.
Inadequately removed dust is harmful to employee health and ultimately poses fire and explosion hazards. Ecogate helps eliminate any dust settling in your main duct, greatly reducing dust exposure and creating a safer work environment.
The Ecogate system is optimised to support not only your current, but also future needs. You can add or remove workstations as and when needed, meaning you don’t have to spend unnecessary capital on a new system.
Ecogate is designed for long-term use in even the toughest industrial settings. Because the fans aren’t working at full speed all the time, in the long-term you will save money on maintenance, replacements and halted production due to repairs. Ecogate's durable and reliable gates provide a more cost-effective choice for your factory's long-term needs.
By reducing the amount of electricity you use, Ecogate lowers your environmental footprint, helping you get one step closer to sustainability. Ecogate customers around the world are currently saving a total of approximately 70 million kWh per year. This is the equivalent of the CO2 emissions from 6,034,420,838 smartphones charged.
Industrial extraction systems are one of the largest electricity consumers in factories, accounting for up to 35% of the electricity usage. In many cases, all extraction fans operate from when the machines are turned on to when they are turned off at the end of the day.
Ecogate's innovative on-demand model addresses this by providing extraction only when machines are in use. This eliminates wasted energy, leading to an average of 68% electricity savings for fume extraction and dust collection systems.
This technologically advanced system is calibrated to turn on and off based on actual extraction needs, optimising energy-efficiency and sustainability. Not only does Ecogate contribute to significant cost savings, but it also ensures efficient operation, making it a compelling solution for woodworking factories, welding workshops and other industrial facilities.
Here at Extractly, we not only specialise in ducting modifications. We also are able to undertake accurate and reliable LEV Testing, as well as the installation and maintenance of your extraction units.
Following each LEV test we provide a comprehensive report, produced for each LEV system, in accordance with the current HSE guide to local exhaust ventilation (HSG258).
